My husband and I went out for dinner last night, and something happened that honestly left me confused.

Our bill came to $70, and we left $20 on the table as a tip. In my mind, that felt reasonable. It was not meant to be disrespectful, and we were not trying to make any kind of statement. We simply paid the bill and left what we thought was a fair tip.

But the waiter refused to take it and told us that if we were not willing to tip at least $35, then we should not be dining out.

I was surprised, because $20 on a $70 bill is still a real amount of money. Maybe it is not what some people expect now, but it also does not feel like nothing.

I understand that servers work hard. I know tips matter, and I respect the people who do that job. But I also think moments like this show how tense tipping culture has become.

What used to feel like a thank-you now sometimes feels like a demand. Customers feel pressured, servers feel underpaid, and everyone ends up frustrated with each other instead of questioning the system that created the problem.

So I am genuinely asking: was $20 on a $70 bill really that bad, or have tipping expectations gotten out of hand..., 🤔🤔🤔?

@BulwarkOnline Putin’s statement was written before he left Moscow. He knew he would not agree to anything today.

@mollyhannahm Seems the Grizzlies can never catch a break.

@geoff_calkins I would like to hear the administration give the reason or reasons for the decision to remain in the AAC

@true_explorer @LeadingReport Didn’t the governors of Texas and Florida use state money to transport people from their states to blue states? Will they be subject to prosecution?

@dennisdoddcbs @StanfordFball @CalFootball @theACC Memphis is on the east side of the Mississippi River but perhaps close enough for the point you are making.

@VandyFootball If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up. Anchor Down !!

@mgiannotto Thanks for informing and entertaining us in print and on 92.9. Your honest insight about Memphis and our teams is much appreciated. We need to hear the truth even if it is hard to take. That is good journalism. Best of luck in everything in your future.

@austinsrandolph I saw a report ole piss is the favorite to get him. Looks like Lane has a very big NIL budget.

@jenmickmars @BrianManookian Did you read a complete transcript of the trial? If so, where is it available as I would like to read it? FYI I am an attorney.

[robert royal🥋 @bamabob37]

@jenmickmars @BrianManookian How would you know what was excluded since you were not in the courtroom throughout the trial and there was no live tv coverage of the trial?

[robert royal🥋 @bamabob37]

@munzly I appreciate the accuracy and timeliness of the text reports. Keep up the good work.

@FireFitzgerald @BrysonWright3 Want to correct my comment. I misread the comment I responded to. I thought it included Desmond and I don’t think Desmond has been a problem this season. Guess I need to get my eyes checked. Count me included with those who feel Dillion was a problem.

[robert royal🥋 @bamabob37]

@FireFitzgerald @BrysonWright3 Explain what you mean by Dillion’s poor behavior. I follow the Grizzlies and can’t remember any poor behavior by Dillion so please educate me.

@Isaac__NBA You fans of other teams keep dreaming. Jaren isn’t going anywhere.

Never had a blue check so it can’t be taken away from me.

@BamaCentral Wonder if this was a Bama-vols game? I saw Harry Gilmer play in the Bama-vols game in Legion Field in 1947. Bama won 10-0. He only had one incomplete pass in the game.

@Isaac__NBA The Sterick Building is being converted into housing for Olympic athletes. The Pyramid will be returned to the original form to house the Olympic basketball games.
